B) $28.91
C) $46.33
D) $15.63

Answer 1

A) $7.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the stock sell for today is given below:

D1 = 2.78 × (1.04)

= 2.89

D2 = 2.89 × (1.04)

= 3.01

D3 = 3.01 × (1.04) = 3.13

Now the price of the stock is

= 2.89 ÷ (1.1) + 3.01 ÷ (1.1)^2 + 3.13 ÷ (1.1)^3

= $7.46

hence, the correct option is a.
